Trump May Be to Blame for Less Accurate Weather Forecasts
Experts say Donald Trump gutting the National Weather Service means fewer weather balloons, which means less accurate weather forecasts.

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

He posted this after voting to defund schools that have any policy whatsoever that "advances concepts" related to gender identity. That includes bathrooms, locker rooms, even possibly having a trans teacher state their pronouns. Shame.

You just voted two weeks ago to ban any mention of LGBTQ people from federally funded schools and to forcibly out trans kids. Don't you dare come here and say happy pride.

Shell Reports Nearly $7 Billion Profit Amid ‘Unprecedented Disruption’

Goldy@goldy.horsesass.org · 3mo agoThe price of gas at my local Shell station in Seattle increased by another 15 cents per gallon over the past four days. In case you're wondering, that's an annualized rate of inflation of 759%.
Jesus. Did that sergeant at arms walk there directly from the Pettus Bridge? The hair, the whole look, everything. Make the photo B&W, and you wouldn't know if it was 2026 or 1965. And the reasons are the same. And the fight's the same. Confederacy and Jim Crow lost before. They'll lose again.

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.
This is one of the most important stories of the week that you probably missed. The trump admin is basically taking something that belongs to all of us & giving it to political hacks & corporate donors. It’s an outrage & we should push back hard.

ICE agents came to a military base and grabbed the newlywed wife of a soldier who's about to deploy. The wife came to the U.S. as a toddler. She has no criminal record. None of this is how it used to work. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.

Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say: To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race, I would love to talk. Let me know.
Some people should feel nothing but shame for trying to pressure and corner this man instead of standing with him. President Volodymyr Zelensky has grown into his office without losing his humanity. Power changed his responsibilities — not his character. True stature is rare. Not everyone has it.

Stop saying Trump wants to "nationalize elections." What he said was: "We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many—15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” "Take over the voting" and "nationalizing voting" is very different from the more sanitized language.
